A Cultural Resource and Geological Study Pertaining to Four Selected Petroglyph/Pictograph Sites on Nellis Air Force Range and Adjacent Overflight Lands, Lincoln and Nye Counties, Nevada

Part of the Nellis Air Force Base (DRAFT) project

Author(s): William G. White; Richard L. Orndorff

Year: 1999

Summary

This study documents comparative results of four petroglyph and/or pictograph sites: two on Nellis Air Force Range and two on adjacent Nellis AFR aircraft overflight lands administered by the BLM. A fifth cultural resources site, situated east of Beatty, Nevada, was studied as a control site for the sonic boom aspect of the study. Work focused on determining aircraft conic boom effects on sonic boom effects on rock formations containing petroglyphs/pictographs and contrasting the two differing land management strategies with respect to site preservation.
